Journey to the West: Beginning with the Apprenticeship of Bodhi Patriarch

Chapter 22 Jiang Yuan Fights the Demon
There is a saying that goes 'There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and cold or heat does not last for years'.

Since Jiang Tong'er calcined Jin Gong and his two forms appeared, more than sixteen years have passed.

Jiang Yuan's practice became more and more difficult, but he said that there were two pearl-shaped things in the lungs. They were calcined by civil and military fires, and burned into a furnace-like shape with red everywhere. The two pearls progressed slowly and were tortured. If there was no stone heart, it would never succeed.

However, Jiang Tong'er has calmed down, his spirit is strong, and with the help of Yu Ding, he can focus on calcining. He will not stop until Jin Gong comes out.

During this day, Jiang Yuan was breathing in and out heavenly fire on the moss, teaching his lungs to keep firing their martial fire continuously and calcine two beads. When he had finished his work, he suddenly heard the voice of his master. He did not dare to slack off and went back to the cave.

When I return to the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon, I will go to the Jade Terrace to pay homage to the master and have him sit on the altar.

Jiang Yuan bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master."

The master said: "Don't be too polite, children. Is it difficult for children to practice?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "Master, Jin Gong is difficult to refine. I will teach you Yin Yang Fire Refining. It will take several decades to succeed."

The master nodded and smiled, "It is difficult to invite five people. If I teach you to invite five people for decades, why is it called the Golden Elixir Righteous Way? It is because the Righteous Way is difficult and mysterious. Don't take the Golden Elixir lightly!"

Jiang Yuan kowtowed and said, "Disciple understands. Disciple will practice diligently."

The master admired the boy and after a long while he came down from the altar, helped the boy up and said, "I called you here to see your practice. There is another thing I need you to do."

Jiang Yuan said: "Just follow the master's orders, and I will obey you."

The master extended his hand from his sleeve, pointed to the outside of the cave, and said, "Outside Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, thirty miles west, there is a mountain called 'Yuzhu Mountain'. A cultivator has come and has been captured by the demons in the mountain. Boy, go there and subdue the demon and save my son."

Jiang Yuan said, "Master, please wait a moment. I will bring the monster to save my son."

Say it.

Jiang Tong'er walked towards the outside of the cave. When he was outside the cave, he jumped fifty feet, clenched his fists, and pulled his body to the west.

He jumped very high and far, but could not reach the clouds. Compared with those who could fly in the clouds, he was not only slower, but much faster than those on foot.

……

Jiang Yuan flew for an unknown amount of time and realized it was getting dark. He came down from Yuzhu Mountain and looked up. He saw that the mountain was like Yuzhu, with crystal clear water everywhere and glittering roads. It was indeed a good place.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain was originally a place for immortals. As the saying goes, "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black." There are many good places within the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain area.

Jiang Yuan stood at the foot of the mountain, concentrating his energy in his eyes. His Jiao Ni Palace was shaken, and his soul came to help. He looked up the mountain again, and saw a black gas circling the mountain. It was indeed demonic.

He then climbed the mountain, jumped high and stepped on the forest, heading towards the mountain. When he reached the top, he saw a pavilion on the top of the mountain. Outside the pavilion gate was a word written horizontally, which read "Yuzhu Mountain God's Mansion". Evil spirit came out of it, which must be the residence of a monster.

Jiang Yuan was surprised and surprised when he saw it, and thought to himself: "How dare he pretend to be a mountain god? I just saw what kind of mountain god he is."

He was full of luck and walked silently towards a pavilion. When he approached the gate, he saw two wolf-headed monsters whispering in front of the door.

Jiang Yuan wanted to know the trick, so he borrowed a plant elf to protect himself so that the two monsters would disappear.

The reason why the two monsters were so young was that they had little magical power, and they didn't know that there was a boy acting as Six Ears.

The wolf-headed monster with a bigger head and white hair said, "Second brother, there are many travelers these days. The king asked us to find three people and give one of them to us as food."

The wolf-headed monster with a smaller head and gray hair licked his lips and said, "Brother, I know more than you. Let me tell you in detail. That man was born in the Southern Continent. Because of the three disasters in the continent, people were forced to flee in four directions. The people of the Southern Continent are delicious and full of spirits. There are many more of them than those of the Western Continent!"

The white-haired wolf-headed monster was surprised and said, "No wonder, no wonder! It's actually a native of Jambu Continent! Someone was captured yesterday and is locked up here. The king hasn't eaten it yet. I wonder if my two brothers can share some." Jiang Tong'er, who was borrowing the spirit of plants to act as a six-eared man, was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself, "That's why. I didn't expect that there are so many natives of Jambu Continent in Xiniu Hezhou. They are all fleeing the three disasters. The three disasters are war, disease, and famine. The natives of Jambu Continent should flee, they should flee! But I didn't expect that after fleeing to Xiniu Hezhou, they were not affected by the sea waves, but were eaten by the monsters here."

Jiang Yuan couldn't hold back his anger. He didn't know how many people had been eaten by the monsters in this mountain in recent days. Thinking of this, he didn't think any more and jumped out.

The two wolf-headed monsters were horrified when they saw Jiang Yuan, not expecting that Liu'er was hiding there.

The white-haired wolf-headed monster shouted, "Who is coming?"

Jiang Yuan said: "I am Guangxin, the eldest disciple of Bodhi Patriarch from Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave. Today, I have been ordered by my master to eliminate the demons from Yuzhu Mountain and save a cultivator!"

The two wolf-headed monsters looked at each other, thinking that the newcomer had ill intentions, but when they saw that Jiang Yuanling had enough spiritual power and knew that he was a man with magical powers, they turned around and fled.

How could Jiang Yuan let the two monsters escape? He opened his sleeves and two black and white fish appeared out of the door and attacked the two monsters in the head.

Seeing the black fish being so aggressive and ferocious, he chased after it and hit the second demon in the head.

The two monsters fell to the ground with one blow. They were breathless and fell to the ground, turning into two big wolves, one white and one gray.

Jiang Yuan flicked his sleeves, and the two black and white fish hit the gate of the platform, banging it wildly, causing chaos in the pavilion.

"Who is this scoundrel who disturbs my cave?"

There were curses coming from the pavilion.

Not long after, a monster came out. He was dressed in armor and holding a steel whip. He looked like the god of thunder with a bloody mouth, looking very ferocious.

Jiang Yuan repeated his name and asked, "Can you catch a cultivator?"

The monster said arrogantly: "I have captured many people, how can I know whether they are practicing or not? Eating them will help me practice, and it should be to warm my life."

Jiang Yuan cursed: "Arrogant! I thought you had some magical power, why are you so arrogant? Look at me and I will catch you!"

Say it.

Jiang Tong'er leaped up, and two black and white fish appeared, dancing like two pythons. With all his might, he was determined to subdue the demon.

The monster was horrified to see Jiang Yuan was so light and swift, he brandished a steel whip to block the two pythons, and then used his skills to catch the boy to celebrate his birthday.

The two had a vicious fight in the pavilion. Jiang Yuanxiu was a righteous man with little magical power and was a rookie, but he won because of his righteous way. The monster ate people to prolong his life, had great power but it was useless, and was extremely vicious, so he lost because of his unconventional way.

Jiang Yuan fought for seven or eight rounds, but seeing that he could not defeat the monster, he asked Hei Yu to fight back. He pulled his body five or six feet away, took out the Yu Ding, and when he saw that the monster was in an open position, he threw it at it.

The monster was fighting with the black fish but couldn't win. Suddenly, a Yu Ding fell down and hit the monster on the top of his head without him noticing. The monster fell to the ground immediately and couldn't get up.

Jiang Yuan took back the Yu Ding, using the black and white fish to protect himself, and moved closer. He saw the monster's true form. How could it be a mountain god? It turned out to be a ferocious old wolf. The old wolf was big, more than ten feet tall.

Jiang Tong'er secretly rejoiced and said, "Fortunately, we have Yu Ding, otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to catch the old wolf."

He killed the old wolf and went to the pavilion to rescue the cultivator.

When I entered a pavilion, I saw piles of white bones hanging on the walls. I wondered how many people the old wolf had eaten and how evil he had committed.

Jiang Yuan went further inside to save people...
